Hi, I am newby in OO Programming, but have good skills in VBA. Now I am trying to change to Base (from M$ Access). I was allready able to write some small makros in OO Basic (Dialogs, Events etc.)
But I was not able to find a way to get/set Properties in the DB Form (it is Writer Document and not "standard" Dialog...) I want to Generate unique Primary key from the user input (it is very easy in Access). As example: User inputs Name, Surname and Postal code -> event driven Procedure gets with LEFT() the first 2 chars from name and surname adds "-" and the Postal code - (so we get sth. like "EmTc-12345") and than put this sting into the Primary Key field ... So what I need is the way to read/write to the appropriate text fields in the form... Does anybody can provide an example how to access a text field in a db (writer) form? Thank you very much in advance Best Regards Emil Tchekov P.S. Very usefull will be also to have a way to hide the navigation bar until the user is inputing the "sensitive data", so he can not switch to another record until needed data (name & Postal code) is evaluated (Primary key is generated). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
